Turks Cap

The Turk's cap (Malvaviscus arboreus) is a hardy, fast-growing, and drought-tolerant perennial plant known for its unique, tightly coiled, red flowers that resemble a Turkish turban or fez. Native to the American South, Mexico, and Central/South America, it is a popular choice for gardens due to its ability to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. The plant is adaptable to various light and soil conditions and produces small, edible, red fruits.
